Meet the Artist

Kelly Hsiao is an award-winning fine art photographer based in Maui, Hawaiʻi.

Her photographs have been exhibited internationally and featured in luxury and fine art publications, receiving honors such as the Julia Margaret Cameron Award.

In her NOCTURNE series, Kelly draws from her night diving experiences to bridge an emotional connection to oceanic life.
